Revision as of 15:31, 17 September 2008

Everybody loves Community Updates, but that's a huge endeavour for one person to tackle. So let us try a little social experiment here: community written community update. I posted an outlined list of bullet points, and left it to everybody else to elaborate along the following editorial guidelines:

Include everything that was hot on a mailing lists at some point since launch.

Contents

Software and distributions

Dale's NeoTool started. A GUI to manage the phones hostside. Backup and flash with GUI.

FDOM - a Fat and Dirty OM based distribution started. A bleeding edge overloaded combination of applications and hot bugfixes to demonstrate the capabilities of the Freerunner and to have a functional phone. This all while retaining the ability to update through the official feeds.

Power management: progress but still far from goal of autonomy in days (full discharge vs. forced load issue, LEDs and buttons use model still in flux, charging while off, fine-grained subsystems sleep...)

Repeated messages on the mailing lists

The trac is getting crowded, bug reports numbers are exploding

People

community-repository is slow to take off: orrery, diversity-wifi, mofi, moko-sudoku, comic-reader, only omview has been added in September.

Raster left the project. Thanks for your fantastic contribution, we would not be there without E !

A X guru position is open at Openmoko Inc., also looking for kernel hackers (update: 16/09/2008).

Spanish mailing list started.

French wiki and forums started.

The Paris meeting was a big success with ~80 attendees.

Business

A classified section has been started to sell/buy on the wiki

FreeRunners still seem to sell like hotcakes, they are frequently out of stock.
